@Skin: I checked the 00tweaks file and it seems like you removed the conservative scheduler and stagefright options. That's fine by me but the script for auto zipalign is the old one. I have checked the new zipalign script by Darky and IMO that should work in all cases and faster, too. You might wanna update that, I have updated that on my own. Waiting for your next update :D.

EDIT: Not to mention the old zipalign script has the last mount command options wrong, but that would cause no harm.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
That and Online battery charging doesn't work. The phone's frozen at Charging 0% even with the charger plugged in. Boot sound isn't present aswell after 4 restarts.

On another note, I see you removed Govenor :P And a whole list of stuff you can instantly check :D I also noticed Maps app doesn't open on bootup, Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Online or offline part? Online charging works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Online and offline charges work for me. But yes no boot sound, I hate it anyway, so np for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
My bad, Online work's for me, Thing was I was at 5% charge when I flashed it, When I flashed the battery was read as 0%, So it was stuck at that for about 2-3mins till it started working again.

Another story, I have 225 MB free RAM with all options enabled, and Maps is disabled as a background app now?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Is it complicated to update the script for auto zipalign on your own?

Would you think it possible to post instructions? :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
There we go, 225 MB RAM :D

I left the system on for about 10 mins and Maps never popped up. Dark magic!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jejemilo:
same here..

enabled all the tweaks, though no idea what they are for..hehe.. phone feel more responsive now, pressing lock key opens up lock screen w/o delay. :) will report if any lag encountered by tomorrow evening.

thank you very much skin.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I see you changed your theme... as android maniac as me :D

EDIT : btw, I don't have such high level of free RAM, only 160 Mb 5 minutes after I've rebooted. It's strange you have only 3 apps running in your widget... you kill them all? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jejemilo:
no problem with maps for me..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
- Copy file 00tweaks from /system/etc/init.d to your computer

- Using a good text editor that do not mangle with codepage like notepad++ and open the file

- Download file init.d.zip from this post, extract and open the file S70zipalign inside

- Replace line 72 to 98 of original 00tweaks with line 10 to 47 from file S70zipalign

- Save the new 00tweaks file and then replace the original 00tweaks file on your phone

- Change permission of 00tweaks on your phone to rwx--x--x

If those steps are too much trouble use the 00tweaks file I attached here.

Credits go to Skin and other respective authors of these tweaks. I did nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Wow... Great!!! Is the zip file you attached made for the flash kernel option of CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
this is my quadrant score for new cf-root

stock + ext4 = 2056

stock + ext4 + tweak(all enabled) = 2258

stock + ext4 + tweak(all enabled+bigeyes0x0's 00tweaks) = 2239

**best of two test each

**since i believe the score keep changing in each test, its non-sense ;P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
No it's not. Only a zip file because only a few file types are accepted as attachment.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Wow so much rammmmm... :O

OFF TOPIC -

Wow.... ur home screen is awesome... what are the two widgets you are using as of now?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Darky's tweak would do nothing to quadrant score, it only changed the logic of auto zipalign so your phone would boot faster in case your apks have been zipaligned already.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Ok, that's fine anyway, your instructions are very clear. Thank you again for the prompt reply!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
wow... now my phone is booting as quickly as an... iPhone5 ??? :D:D:D

uh... how to know my apks have already been zipaligned? :o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Noooooooooo the cursed apple! D:

@Lord, It's GoWidget Task Manager :P and Galaxy S2 Digital Clock
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
You can check these logs /data/zipalign.log and /data/zipalign.db. Those are created by darky's zipalign script. The former is the log and the latter is for keeping track of already zipaligned apks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I want my 225 Mb of free RAM!!! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Better get flashing buddy :) i can say that this version saves us alot of ram space :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
uh... zipalign.db is missing in my /data folder
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
OK i'll try it :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I was pretty surprised when I went into tweaks and saw like EVERYTHING was a tickable option like, The first thing that ran into my head was, "This is going to make the phone so fast, ferrari wouldn't keep up :O"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
That's weird. It works for me, I added an additional step in my previous instruction post. That might be it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
I removed boot sound.... It was going me mad!

Benchmarks

These are the best benchmarks I have ever had. I never even close 2000 much less 1500

Did i just get the short end of the stick when I bought the phone? How can so many people be getting 2000+ benchmarks doing the same things I have been doing (some much worse)?

Oh well, phone feels snappy. Thank's skin!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
YES! that was it! Now I got the file. And it's full of all my APKs! Thanks X3!!!!

@ ephraim: I reflashed... and I still don't have these 225 Mb of free RAM!!

Only 160 :eek:

Well, I would shed tears of joy if only I haven't seen Misledz screenshot :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
You did well :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Have you converted to ext4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
Lol cursed apple....

Thanx for telling .. the clock widget taken from market?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
I will add this mod in the next release my friend.... thanks a lot;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Haha, I understand and I totally hate the boot sound too. On the original cf-root for Galaxy Tab, there's even no boot animation to save space. And the Tab boots ridiculously faster without the animation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
yeah. This is the same issue with xxkb3. none of my benchmarks were even close to the posted ones after doing everything they do. haha. I wonder how will i explain this to the guys at samsung? they will say i broke warranty if I say anything. haha

don't get me wrong though, the phone feels faster than stock but I keep looking at other's results and it waaay beats mine.

in xxkb3 i get around 1300 or less. with your latest cwm and ext4

I am really starting to believe the phone itself is at fault.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Try to close everything my friend and thou shall see the light at the end of the tunnel *angels begin to sing* :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Maybe you should try quadrant advance? But i doubt that it will make any difference :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Pralinos :P There's a tip to getting MAX RAM POWUH!.

- Settings

- Applications

- Running Services

- Check in Running tab to see what apps are open and one's you don't need. Unwanted ones.

- Tab back to All tab and tap the apps and FC the apps you don't use, Maps, etc.

Clear RAM cache from Task Manager :D, Enjoy MAXXIMMUUMM RAAM >;D!

After reboot you have to do it again, Or when you open the app. So make sure you check :D

@Skin, As bigeyes0x0 suggested, I guess by replacing the bootanimation with a blank screen would make it boot faster? In a way doesn't the animation need to complete one round before it actually boots up? Estimated current boot time is 12.32 secs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
As nice as it sounds, I actually against removing the animation completely, might change it to something simpler but removing completely will leave no indication that your phone is working. Might be scary for newbies and certain ppl still want the animation, also not like you try to boot your phone every 5 mins (Skin might have to bare this though :D). But I do hate the boot sound with a passion.

I wish that Samsung release the source code for our phone gingerbread soon so we can have custom kernels and stuff. I actually can get my hand dirty as my work in real life is actually really close with linux and OS in general, just that have been very lazy to get into it :D.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Likewise :D Lazyness strikes faster, Right now I'm just a predetermined beta tester for people's mods' etc and a support base. Mailed Samsung about their source package since the official is out now *OR so I hope this is what they're referring to*

As for the boot screen, The animation consists of frames :P so just a plan "Samsung" logo would do great :D There are pictures all over the net, But I do want to customize the boot sound, probably anime audio clips from [C] M.O.S.A.P.C , or from BECK.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I suspected there was a Sioux' trick :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Pralinos LOL No native indian tricks there, Forgive my french but doesn't Sioux mean enemy aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
LOOOL

well, I guess a wooden stick has infinite free RAM...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I confirm, better scores with Quadrant advanced (because of textures lacking?)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xenoyosh:
Pralinos pointed out that it might have to do with the fact that I have never deodexed my phone. does that have something to do with it?

Does deodexing really give out a boost in performance other than adding a theme to the device?

Thanks!

Sorry about that. Didn't know your handle till now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
no, I did a literal translation of a french friendly phrase... you know, most of us here are not fans of cowboys from Texas... like one usually called Dubya Bush, for instance :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Guys, why many people are assuming themselves as masters here.

As far as i9003 is concerned though it doesn't have a separate section here still it has grown big. This has many threads (some even looks continuation or repetition) & lot & lot many pages. Many times users ask questions just when they desperately need the solutions. So some times the questions may be repeating & even at irrelevant places. Some people can't involve themselves here as many friends are doing & obviously they may not have very close track of the happenings. If one can't address their question better to keep mum rather than just throwing some cheap comments & getting the feeling that something is achieved, until a same person is just spoiling forum discipline several times. In recent days the comments have really increased.

Certainly this is neither to entertain the people who ask nor to hurt the guys who comment but as a community to have a frictionless flow.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Not really, Deodexing mean's you can make changes to the apk's. Odex disables you to do that which is why you FC when you add a deodexed file.

But these are the pro's and con's-

Odexed - Unthemeable and MARGINALLY faster.

DeOdexed - Themeable and more space in system.

If you wish for a snappier system, Try removing apps you don't use, use CWM tweaks and ext4 conversion, clear your dalvik cache and let it build a new one. But since your not deodexed, You can't expect to use themes. Doing so will FC the phone. Framework's wont be affected, Framework's will show you the looks,etc as you can't deodex frameworks, it's the apps like System.apk/SystemUI.apk that will cause your phone to crash like geebus.

@Pralinos :D Flash it flash it flash it.

@Suresh No one has claimed they are master's rather the forums has become cluttered, The fact that work's have been placed one after the other with great success only bear's more progress happening for this phone, When new user's come and ask, 90% has already been mentioned, tagged and posted in FAQ's or anything that requires you to start dirtying your hands. 10% is complete stupidity that promotes ignorance and laziness to browse through the forums or read the actual OP, If the section was immense and greater or separate then I would agree, tag posts and probably quote pages would be ideal to users, But with no one moderating the forums, and regular member's not strict with the flow, then this forum would have become like 4chan, where anything get's posted without any order or sequence.

There's a famous quote that goes, You can lead a horse to a pond, But you can't force the horse to drink the water from it.

Thanks skin for the updated files and important point 2 ;)

That is where i got scared
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
@skin, i understand one is .tar which can be flashed through odin & the other is .zip for those who has already other cf rooted. Hope .zip is not a updated version. I have already flashed .tar from odin. So if it's not an update i don't need to flash the zip right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
thanx for updated zip.... thanx a lot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Ok I've tried converting to ext4 and I want to know if what I did was correct.

I installed the CF-root from the beginning this thread. Then I used the ext4-format.zip from this thread by Skin as an update.zip within CWM and flashed it. I didn't take a nandroid backup before that. When I rebooted my phone booted normally and I didn't experience any data loss. The phone felt a bit faster and so did the boot (could be a placebo effect). Is this normal? Was the script supposed to format everything and then I was supposed to restore my backup? Formatting everything would result in a factory reset as well I assume?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Skin.....quick question....does cf root contain any changes in kernel?

I.understand that this is normal boot and is related to recovery but isn't init.d support based on kernel? Kindly correct me if I am wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Procedure says

1. Make nandroid backup

2. Install the ext 4.zip

3. Restore nandroid backup

In your case, the phone rebooted, which is not possible as partitions are formatted as ext4. seems like your partitions have not been formatted.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rb210:
Thanks. :)

I'm taking a backup right now. I'll boot into recovery mode and make sure that it works this time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
When you apply the zip, a.confirmation message should be printed. If it does then partitions are formatted
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] javul:
This post it is done to make the phone rootable, isn't it?

So i flash with odin, but, where do i put the file, in the pda field???

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Guys I am getting 190 mb free ram on startup phone aftet flahing new file & also i have enabled all options except ext4 speed option because still i have not converted to ext4 file system. Before flashing new file normally I was getting nearly 225mb free ram.

Is this normal or converting to ext4 system is must to get more ram???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
gud,.... bt i dont have any idea abt that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
It's entirely upto you, For one if you are satisfied with your phone's performance then I see no reason why you should do so. The ext4 conversion is if you feel your phone isn't responding as snappy as you expect it to. Ext4 enables faster read and write making your phone access data faster compared to rfs file format. But ofcourse this is entirely upto you. Also converting to ext4 doesn't claim more RAM, it just makes the performance of the phone better in terms of read/write, making apps open faster, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
You put the tar file in pda.. Don't check repartition..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] javul:
Thanks, with this flash, the phone gets rooted?. And another thing. I saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151704 , do i install both this one and the other, or with this i have everything in one flash? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Cf root has cwm in it so no need to flash cwm.. It is already rooted..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Is it possible for you to port this CWM over to the other firmware?? Thanks Skin!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
By default there is CWM already for each firmware, Infact it is firmware specific, This is CF-Root, Entirely different from the CWM series, but also a custom recovery module. It is in it's beta stages and based off GB. Until it reaches it's final stage, I doubt Froyo is getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Okay. I just thought that the features are more.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] javul:
Nice i flashed and the phone goes fine!!! To put the ext4 format, how do i do it? just check in the tweak options or do i have to do anything else? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Basically the lag is caused by enabling the options from Tweaks. I noticed when I restored to default the phone was snappy and fast again, But when I re-enabled it again the phone started to lag and slow down, When getting a call the blackscreen would persist and you would have a hard time seeing who's calling till you wait 2 secs for the name to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yeng9ph:
hmm. experienced it too..

and it was memorable co'z i was in the meeting and my phone keeps on vibrating. of course my colleagues can hear it like a mosquito. when i tried to reject it i cannot do anything even i tried to answer, i could not slide the answer key.. damn.. the solution? aha! battery!!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Btw, Take caution. If you plan to reflash the CWM+BatteryFix+RAM PDA file, Remove the tweaks I made this grave mistake, I flashed back to the CWM that worked smoothly but I didn't disable the options I checked in the tweaks when I enabled the CF-PDA *this one* and the phone lagged horribly! You will experience intense keyboard and system lag. You need to revert to default but you must be in CF PDA or it wont work because of the missing kernel. Then when it reboots. You need to turn it off and back to download mode and reflash the CWM+BatteryFix+RAMScript and it will work smooth and fine again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
This alpha release seem that doesn't work very well :D

I've done some step over.... i'm doing the last mod.... the last test.... then i post here the new version... I wish that Chainfire will not hate me cause i modified his apks to adapt they to our phone....

BTW now the phone go smoothly...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
@Misledz

Yeah... Didn't see this post until too late! I went through the depths of hell to get my build of Froyo DDKB2 (INU).

It wouldn't boot after flashing like normal (using .pit file and all), then I flashed CWM and found that it couldn't mount "/datadata", then I had an idea involving formatting with ext4 to start from scratch (i.e no restoring, ext4 isn't compatible with DDKB2's CWM), which required the XXKPE CWM PDA to do.

After that I re-loaded DDKB2 CWM PDA, wiped free space, flashed DDKB2. Didn't boot (no Samsung Galaxy SCLcd logo). So I loaded APBOOT, PDA and PHONE from XXKPE and kept the CSC as the singular DDKB2 firmware file.

This time I had success! I reset my area code CSC to (INU), flashed DDKB2 again as the PDA this time and restored data from DDKB2 nandroid backup after flashing DDKB2 CWM PDA.

*phew!*

Phone is back to DDKB2 (INU) and operating smoother than ever! I was stuck in the twilight zone for a moment there... Thank God I took precautions and didn't loose my head eh! :D

Hope my experiences are educational!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Updated with beta version ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Just flashed! Seems to work smoother...

Around 185/190 MB of free RAM 5 minutes after rebooting phone and background tasks only (without launching V6 Supercharger). Supercharger makes it fall to 170/180 MB.

Very grateful and also attentive to other settings advice you could give. Thanks for all Skin.

EDIT : I still have an issue with offline charge (no battery indicator on phone's screen).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
thanks..juz flashed it already..right now only test some tweak..so far so great..but if i don't want to use it anymore..how the safe step to uninstall it (i mean cf-root)?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
sir skin thanks! im done flashing with your beta..

It is ok to check all the box in the tweaks app?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Skin, your the santa claus that appear's before christmas, I woke up at 6am just to check If you had already uploaded your beta fix. Gracias Amigo!

@Eraghon There's an easier way to that, Just flash latona, then XXKB3 once and then replace the PDA with DDKB2 only *No latona at this point*, Flash it 2nd time, You will have everything fixed and DDKB2 (: Tenen!

If anyone else can answer this, how do I create a backup with CWM, it doesn't support i9003(Samsung)? Yeah, I did find a thread which dealt with changing values of the zip file, but I can't seem to get a hold of anything that tutorial explains. Lol! Will the titanium backup do?
